Walking around Stephansdom early in the morning certainly has its merits. With still nearly no one around, it gives the perfect opportunity to watch this place coming to life. There are the horses and their fiacres, the horsedrivers trying to make their horses look at their best and cleaning the stones in the street with water whenever one of the horses has got rid of his excretions. 
I was also able to have a quiet look at the structure from all sides. Especially the famed roof makes for a sight in itself. With thousands of coloured tiles, it depicts the Austrian eagle and figurines in white, green, black and yellow. Since the cathedral is situated on a rather small square surrounded by buildings, standing right under the tallest tower, the Steffl, makes you realize how high it actually is. 
I also walked up the 343 dazzling and dizzying steps to the platform from which a good view can be had from the city and surroundings. People below on the square look like mice crawling around a piece of cheese. Also, the roof can be better observed, and there is a tile on display which gives you an idea of the size of those lying on top of the roof. The Stephansdom is so much part of Vienna, that when it was badly damaged in 1945, it took just three years of national effort to restore it to its former glory.
